New Year's Anime Update Part 3

DarkMidoriko — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 10:48:00 GMT

Small mini-update for the New Year, relates to the first new anime of Part 2. Have a gameplay video of the Touhou game.

So yeah....that's an intense vertical shooter. Gonna try it out myself now =D

Update: 6:14 AM

Ok....this game is just amazing!!! The most addiciting vertical shooter ever!! Kind of amazing how one person made this as well. Gonna add the links now....

Touhou 11 (東方地霊殿　～ Subterranean Animism.)

Install Exe (132 mbs) - Mirror 1 Mirror 2 Mirror 3 Mirror 4
Direct X Updater - This is only if you are missing dx files that the game needs - Mirror

Now i dont know if you need the japanese language files for this game as i already have it installed. So if you do you can always install it with your windows cd/dvd.

Controls:

Movement: Arrow Keys
Attack 1 (Basic Firing): Z Key
Attack 2 (Special): X Key

Difficulties:

There are 4 different difficulties, Easy, Normal, Hard, and Lunatic....Note...lunatic is literally suicidal. Attacks move so fast cant dodge them without super moving dodging abilities. Plus shooting them? As you shoot your movement slows down.

If you have nothing to do for the New Year....then try this game out...my first official game of the New Year. And it is AWESOME. There are other Touhou games that i'll link up to later once i test them out first. So go try it out!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Musoukakyo: A Summer's Day Dream (2008/12/29)

This is the first episode of the "Touhou Anime Project". The Touhou Anime Project is a doujin, meaning that it's not made by people in paid commercial animation studios, for the most part. The anime project is based off of a vertical shooting game called "Touhou" created by Team Shanghai Alice (ZUN). It is a doujin (non-commercial) game and is almost made entirely by 1 person, ZUN. It's a shooter that focuses on dodging enemy bullets more than the shooting part, and the bullets which come at you are designed in very beautiful patterns. The game takes place in a Japanese fantasy setting with well designed characters. So basically the Touhou Anime Project is a fan work from the game Touhou and was approved to be created. Already watched the first episode and for a doujin work it's actually pretty well done. So here's the youtube of the trailer.

Official Site

New Year's Anime Update Part 1

DarkMidoriko — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 00:49:00 GMT

Well then...been almost 3 months since the last update. (Yeah...been busy) Oh well got lots done, was busying creating our new Starwars AMXX Mod for CS 1.6. So here is the first update of the New Year =D

Fall Anime Update: (Recent anime that i've finished watching, still watching, or dropped)

Ga-Rei: Zero (Finished)

Pretty awesome show, group of people who are exorcists are sent all over Japan to "Exterminate those who spread the taint of the death to the human world" aka dead spirits/spectres. Good fight scenes, haven't read the manga yet but i plan on doing so, the opening episodes were just awesome.

Gundam 00 Season 2 (Still Going)

Currently at episode 13, starting to get very interesting...should catch up now if you haven't done so already.

Yozakura Quartet (Finished)

Finally finished, was a good anime as an overall, not the very best but still good.

Kurozuka (Finished)

The series for this is finished but i stopped half way through, plot and story is just too damn confusing, and bunch of random stuff going on.

Tales of the Abyss (Still Going)

Currently at episode 14, good anime based off of an RPG. Will continue to watch

To Aru Majutsu no Index (Still Going)

Currently at episode 13, decent anime, still going to watch.

Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae (Still Going)

Currently at episode 13, awesome anime, a sequel to 2 previous series. Definitely going to watch still.

Bleach

Going to get a lot better in battles

Naruto

Currently on a mini-filler, boring stuff at the moment.

Golgo 13

Stuck on episode 17, subbers have dropped it.

Soul Eater

Currently on episode 38, it just keeps getting better and better, although the first 10 episodes weren't that good, plot just keeps developing and the fights are pretty good as well.

Vexille - 2077 Isolation of Japan (Movie)

A movie that came out in Japan in 2007. DVD version finally came out a while back so i decided to watch it since it caught my eye back then. Turned out to be a pretty good anime movie. (Plot: In an alternate 21st century, Japan's scientists has perfected the art of biotechnology and robotics, its benefits extending the lifespans of all humans. However, the United Nations deemed the advanced technology a dangerous threat and started strict surveillance on Japan. The government of Japan refused to abide by UN's demands to halt research, in the year 2067 left the UN and isolated itself visually and communically. Ten years later, an American special forces unit by the name of SWORD, led by its female commander named Vexille, are sent to uncover the current status of the isolated Japan, after the country begins its plan to move. The shocking secrets they find will shock the rest of the world. End) Yeah...it had an amazing twist when they were getting into Japan which caught me by total surprise.

Chaos;Head (Finished)

Although i never watched it cause it was completely messed up...this is finished

Akane-iro ni Samaru Saka (Finished)

This series is finished as well, dunno how it ended up

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So more or less anything that i havent listed are either dropped or i just plain forgot them :P And that ends Part One of the New Years Anime Update, Part Two will be of the new anime that are coming out this month and some from the end of December.

Test Test Test. Test Test. Bacon is good for you.

Rush Retrospective — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 22:35:00 GMT

//Updated November 9th, 2008

A complimentary Front Page Update to keep you up to date on what really matters in the communities of Paradises Garage as well as the gaming world and Real Life.

Typically, we would enjoy a good melee of knives, stun grenades, claymores, C4 and hand grenades. COD4, one of the main fancies of the {MC} community over the last few months is for once, not the main topic of this update (although still a long time favorite for us). Instead, we are going back in time. 1944, a year of releasing the dogs, artillery strikes, and makin huts is todays focus. Thats right, we are now playing (for now) Call Of Duty 5 - World At War (beta). Many of us got a hold of beta keys for this beta on PC and it so far is not disappointing.....I'm going to buy it when it is released on Steam. If you come around to our vent (shut up and get in the vent), we can show you how to get a hold of a beta key so you can join us (it's free). Then you can join us at our server at 67.93.155.120:28960 which is a hardcore free-for-all/team death match server.

Also stay tuned for a new site update in the works...you will not be disappointed.

Troop was ~~not~~ here (hence why I'm ~~doing an update~~ lying to you).

Welcome to "The Foundation" and PG Gaming Community!

//(Finally) Updated - October 08, 2008

An unroutinely update regarding additions and changes in the {MC} Community, gaming world and RL in general.

Not a very large update...maybe.

First update would be our current gaming appeal. It seems that AOC is more of a backseat passenger rather than the main driving force in the community at the moment. It is still being played...just not to its full extent. This does not mean it is dead. The foundation still exists, and one day live again...again. So if AOC is the back seat passenger, who is driving this vehicle down the freeway? No one, the car is about to run into the guard rail and fly over the overpass on another car -[CoR]. Instead we have upgraded to a friendly chopter (7 kills ftw). Thats right, COD4 is once again the new hotness in the {MC} gaming world. There is a pretty good game going on everyday starting around 8pm and lasts untill ?. Any one can get in on this game, but no mercy shall be shown, claymores don't descriminate...except against me. So shut up and get in the vent so you can get to the chopter if you want to live. Don't be a passenger in the car....or Hugh Jackman.

Portal: Prelude, a free portal mod which takes place before the GlaDOS take over of Aperture Science will be released this Friday to the public and is available to anyone who has Portal already installed on their PC. This mod is stated to be L O N G E R than the original portal as well as more story oriented. Ohh and harder...yeah, I should add that. The vALVE release of portal was too easy. The download will be available on our site Friday as well as the Portal Prelude site (www.portalprelude.com).

Fall '08 Anime Update 3

DarkMidoriko — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 14:57:00 GMT

Well this was kinda soon to put up a new update...but since it's ThanksGiving in Canada and i got nothing else to do cause everyone else is a sleep thought i might as well post up on the anime that I missed in the last Update. So here it is....

Date: 13/10/08

Gundam 00 S2 - 02 Update!

An awesome episode as usual =D, 00 Gundam and Twin Drive System was way better than i thought it would be, instead of actually creating a GN Field around the Gundam it actually focuses the particles in a condensed matter and forces any beam weapons away. From the looks of it, the twin drive system also enables much more mobility than one drive. So anyways...awesome episode, go watch it if you haven't and keep watching and reading

To Aru Majutsu no Index - 02

Episode two of this anime turned out to be pretty good, kind of reminds me of Shakugan no Shana but this may actually turn out better.

------------------------------------------------------

So that's that for the episodes I watched yesterday >.< didn't really get around to watching anything else, i'll post on how the other anime go in another update sometime this week. So now time for more NEW ANIME

(ANN)

Tytania
The capital of the empire of Euria is attacked by the empire of Titania, a much more powerful enemy that controls a large part of the galaxy. The story follows a soldier who flees the Titania empire and seeks refuge with the rebellion force, that rose up since the battle.

Haven't watched yet, sounds interesting though, hopefully lots of action.

Tytania Website

Kurozuka
Kuro, a 12th-century man, flees into the mountains after losing to his brother, where he meets a strange, beautiful woman named Kuromitsu. Kuro falls in love with Kuromitsu but realizes she conceals a dark secret. She is unable to die and continues to live for thousands of years as Japan evolves into a future society.

This is supposedly a really good anime from what one of my dim-witted friends tells me, so i'll check it out and post on it later. Doded seems to like it so it must be good, for a man KIA.

Sorry I could not get a good trailer for Kurozuka could not find it on youtube.

Kurozuka Website

Kemeko Deluxe!
A chibi robot doll appears in the room of a typical high school boy. The robot claims the boy as her husband and then a beautiful girl comes out of the doll's mouth who knows the boy from 10 years prior and had been promised his hand in marriage.

Looks stupid not gonna watch it so you're on your own for that one.

Kemeko Deluxe! Website

------------------------------------------------------

And that's that for the new anime that have had their first episode subbed and released. In the next few updates i will put which of the new anime that i won't be tracking. So now i guess i'll put up [DDLs] and [Torrents] for some of the episodes that have come out already....

Fall '08 Anime Update 2

DarkMidoriko — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 18:49:00 GMT

Time for another Updatez!! Since I still left a ton of new anime. But before i get on with the new anime...........

Date: 12/10/08

Gundam 00 Update!!

Here are some new pictures from a newtype magazine (anime magazine)

(Click for HQ Size)

And that's it for the Gundam 00 Update =D time to move on to new anime which are more or less dumber than last season's anime.

Hakushaku to Yosei
The story is set in 19th century England and centers on a "fairy doctor" named Lydia. Her life takes a 180-degrees turn when she meets a legendary blue knight count named Edgar and his crew. He hires her as an adviser during his quest to obtain a treasured sword that was supposed to be handed down to him by his family.

Haven't gotten a chance to watch this one yet since the first episode was just released.

Hakushaku to Yosei Website

To Aru Majutsu no Index
In a world where science clarifies supernatural powers. In a huge college that has power development in its curriculum. To a resident high school student, Kamijou Touma, a pure white sister appears. She calls herself "Index" and says that sorcerers are chasing her. Thus, Kamijou Touma enters the world of the occult.

Watched the first episode, was more of a mix of comedy and science fiction. Not really the greatest but yeah....dot dot dot

To Aru Majutsu no Index Website

Shikabane Hime: Aka
The title "Corpse Princess" belongs to Makina Hoshimura, an undead girl who seeks to hunt down 108 corpses in order to go to heaven.

Nothing really seemed to catch my interest good one to watch if i'm out of anime....

Shikabane Hime: Aka Website

Chaos;Head
Takumi is a high school student. He is withdrawn and is not interested in 3D things. In his town, a mysterious serial murder case happens and people get panicked. One day, when he chats on the internet, a man suddenly contacts him and gives him an URL. He goes to the website and finds a blog image that suggests a next murder case.... On the next day, it really happens....

One of the most weirdest, can't understand anime ever!! Supposedly it is supposed to be as good as Death Note, but i'm not making the connection....

Chaos;Head Website

Nodame Cantabile: Paris
The two music students now drive themselves and each other to greater artistic heights, in Japan and now Europe.

Some sort of sequel to the anime "Nodame Cantabile". It's supposedly a comedy/romance anime, not gonna watch it.

Nodame Cantabile: Paris Website

Toradora!
Despite Ryūji Takasu's gentle personality, his eyes make him look like an intimidating delinquent so he is utterly hopeless about his chances of getting a girlfriend anytime soon, and does not have many close friends either. After being greeted by his hungover mother in the morning, Ryūji goes to school and is happy to find that he gets to be in the same class as his best friend Yūsaku Kitamura and crush Minori Kushieda. However, it is then that he unexpectedly knocks into "the school's most dangerous animal of the highest risk level" — Taiga Aisaka — who just happens to also be in his class, and is a good friend of Minori.

Not gonna watch, first episode was stupid....dot dot dot

Toradora! Website

Vampire Knight - Guilty
Yuuki wants to know more about her true family and her forgotten past and starts a research. The secret will be revealed. Yuki, Kaname and Zero will show the begining of a new mystery and a forbidden love.

Sequel to Vampire Knight which i dropped 1/4 way through...

Vampire Knight Guilty Website

Rosario + Vampire Capu2
A new semester has arrived for Tsukune and the gang featuring a handfull of girl obsessed female first years and it seems like among these first years emerges another vampire who holds a grudge against her sister Moka. What shall this grudge lead to in the future and shall Tsukune suceed in taming this new problem child into his friend, no one knows what the future holds.The new season is set to continue to follow the manga, introduce new characters from the manga and characters created strictly for the anime.

Sequel to Rosario + Vampire which i never watched.....

Rosario + Vampire Capu2 Website

Clannad: After Story
A sequel to the recently wrapped anime based on the Key Clannad franchise. After Story is a path that opens in the original visual novel after all the other paths have been opened.

As it says...sequel to Clannad, I'd say this anime is a good comedy as they try to develop the characters, decent anime though.

Clannad: After Story Website

*Phew* i think that's about it for anime that have already been subbed and released. Tales of the Abyss - 03 is already out as well as Gundam 00 S2 - 02.

Fall '08 Anime Update 1

DarkMidoriko — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 02:29:00 GMT

Changing the format of the blog now since ParaDOX doesn't like my format...keeps QQing over it >.< so anywho.....the new format will be based on the anime seasons, Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer. So Fall anime series that last about 12 or 13 episodes will go from October to the end of December, although some continue on with another 12 or 13 more episodes they will be still be added into the Winter anime updates. Oh well....you peoplez will figure it out somehow teehee.

Date: 10/10/2008

So starting with a new update for this Fall, I will start on recapping on the last few months of anime.

Soul Eater
Currently on episode 27 subbed. Once this anime hit around episode 20, epic battles just starting coming in one after the other and it has gotten extremely interesting. The anime is about half way done. There are going to be 51 episodes for this anime. So my thoughts on this, good anime was a good fill in for bleach and naruto filler and I will still continue to watch it.

Yakushiji Ryoko No Kaiki Jinkenbo
This anime finished, 13 Episodes. A good anime for those who like mysteries and monsters. They sort of left us off at a cliff hanger, a possible second season.

Macross Frontier
This anime is finished, 25 Episodes. An awesome mecha anime, the ending could have gone for a bit longer but still pretty awesome. Good for any mecha lovers. and Robotech fans.

The Daughter of Twenty Faces
Currently on episode 19 subbed. The subbers on this one have slowed down a lot and it really gets to me. This is an awesome anime as well has a brilliant story line about a girl who is looking for a person who is like an idol to her.

Golgo 13
Currently on episode 15 subbed. The subbers on this REALLY REALLY slowed down, raw is on episode 27 and it took them like 2 months to release episode 15. But anyways...Epic anime for those who like assassinations to the highest level.

Code Goose S2
This anime is finally over...25 Episodes. Not really the greatest anime ever...it could have used some more spicing up, all in all the ending was obviously predictable half way through the anime, good anime to waste time on.

Nabari no Ou
Currently on episode 24 subbed. Anime is almost done, storyline is decent, it could have used a lot more action fighting though.

Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto - Natsu no Sora
This anime is finished, 12 Episodes. A well put anime with a good storyline, a really unfortunate ending though >.<

And now...starting with all the new anime.

Gundam 00 S2
First episode released Sunday, everything was more or less predictable, the most epic scene though was the return of the new Lockon, Lyle Dylandy, Neil Dylandy's (Old Lockon) brother.

Gundam 00 Website

Hyakko
On the first day of high school at Kamizono Academy, four girls meet each other while lost on the huge campus, and form a friendship. This story follows the daily school life of the four girls and their eclectic classmates.

I probably won't watch this anime, the first episode wasn't that great either.

Hyakko Website

Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka
In order to protect the girl Yuuhi Katagiri, a new transfer student, from danger, Junichi Nagase is forced to kiss her. Not understanding what happend, she screams at him, not knowing that her father has arranged for her to marry him

Probably won't get into this anime as well....

Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka Website

ef - tale of melodies
A sequel to "ef - tale of memories" dunno what it's about never even seen the first season so.....this is out of my hands.

ef - tale of melodies Website

Linebarrels of Iron
An artificial satellite falls to Earth in 2013, seriously injuring Hayase Kouichi. He awakens six months later with strange powers. Three years later, a giant robot called Linebarrel appears and Kouichi joins him to fight for Juda, the largest medical equipment supplier in the world.

From the makers who brought you The Tower of Druaga =D. An interesting mecha anime, first episode was decent, couple good fights but i hate the main character, seems dense to me. But then again gotta give the character time to develop a little.

Linebarrels of Iron Website

Ga-Rei-Zero
Freshman Nimura Kensuke has the ability to see ghosts, and his life changes when he meets Kagura, a girl with the power to summon a "Ga-Rei" called Byakuei. The two work together to find evil spirita and devour them with the Ga-Rei.The Japanese Ministry of Defense has an anti-paranormal special forces group called the Supernatural Disaster Prevention Office. They are the ones responsible to protect Japanese soil and its people from supernatural and paranormal events. However, things didn't go so well in one of their missions...

The first episode of this had to be one of the most crazies episodes i have ever seen...cause i can't spoil it for you pplz go watch it!!

Ga-Rei-Zero Website

Kuroshitsuji
One of the noble families of England - Phantomhive, has a butler, Sebastian Michaels. He has unquestionably perfect knowledge, manners, talent with materials. martial arts and much more. But he serves a 12 year old master.

The first episode of this one is....somewhat creepy, going to take a look at the second episode to see how it turns out, doesn't really look that great to watch.

Kuroshitsuji Website

Macademi WAsshoi (The Magician's Academy)
Magician's Academy revolves around Takuto Hasegawa, who attends a magic academy that is not marked on any map. During a summoning spell exam, he accidentally creates a girl named Tanarot, who happends to hold enough magical power to destroy his country, but fortunately Tanarot professes undying loyalty to her "creator."

I'm guessing this is based off of a PS2 game since i saw it up for download, but yeah....first episode was stupid not gonna watch it.

Macademi WAsshoi Website

Kyou no Go no Ni (Today in Class 5-2)
Following the line of the precedent OVAs (of the same name) This anime goes around the normal lifes of some elementary school (5th grade, 2nd class room) kids and their adventures, while turning to teens. Their games, stupid jokes, and the misunderstadings around their premature attraction to the opposite sex. Ryota Satou is the main character here, but his friends are almost as important as him since the school wouldn't be the same without them, specialy the girls who the majority of time appear to be mature by their ages but in the ends they are as childish and even more "dangerous" than the boys.

Basically this is purely a comedic anime, seen the OVA was pretty funny. The first few episodes over the TV series looks like it's just gonna recap them.

Today in Class 5-2 Website

Kannagi
An art student named Jin Mikuriya carves a statue from the wood of the Kannagi tree only to have the statue come to life in the form of a goddess, who has now taken over the statue. He and "Nagi" work together to destroy the impurities that are gathering in the town.

This one looks like it's gonna be a comedy as well with some magicz

Kannagi Website

Tales of the Abyss
Luke fon Fabre, the spoiled son of a noble from the kingdom of Kimlasca-Lavaldear, has been confined inside his father's mansion ever since he was kidnapped seven years ago by a rival country, the Malkuth Empire. Now Luke's memory of the life he led before is missing, and a strange voice, which only he can hear, has been calling out to him ever since. One day while training with his mentor, Van Grants, a strange woman called Tear breaks into the mansion with the sole intent of taking Van's life. During the struggle Luke is transported far from home, along with Tear, and now that Luke has finally gained the freedom he's been dreaming of, what awaits him in the outside world will shatter everything he's ever known about himself.

This is based off of an RPG just like how Tower of Druaga was, the first two episodes have already been released subbed, and they look pretty good. Hope those of you who liked Druaga will watch this as well.

Tales of the Abyss Website

Yozakura Quartet
The story revolves around a quartet of teenaged heroes: A super-strong girl named Hime, a mind reader named Ao, a conjurer named Kotoha and an ordinary, powerless boy named Akina. The three girls and Akina protect the city of Sakurashin from supernatural threats.

A decent first episode, shows off all of the main characters' powers and the villain of the anime. Going to see how it goes.

Yozakura Quartet Website

Casshern Sins
After decades since the original anime series, the cybernetic warrior returns in this franchise reboot, Casshern Sins. In a world where the powerful robot leader known as Braiking Boss rule over humanity with an iron fist, a mysterious girl named Luna is summoned by the people for salvation. To retaliate against this potential threat, Braiking sends 3 of his most powerful cyborgs, Casshern, Dio and Reda to dispose of her. Casshern manages to kill Luna, plunging the world into a slow descent of annhilation. Hundreds of years later, humanity is almost extinct. Robots constantly replace their body parts, fearing the corrosion of rust: their only form of death. In this wretched time and place, Casshern returns after a lengthy disappearance since his murder of Luna. Having lost his memory, Casshern now defends the humans from the robots, and find out his true identity and purpose. Cassern is about a cyborg who rises against the robotic armies that have subjugated all of humanity.

I so did not like the first episode of this, there was something about it that wasn't right. So i won't be watching this one

Casshern Sins Website

*PHEW* That was a lot of stuff to type out, a lot of it was copy paste from ANN. Sorry about the missing PVs for Yozakura Quartet and Kannagi, there were no good PVs on youtube. And for some reason the Tales of the Abyss and Kuroshitsuji doesn't seem to be working so I will put the links here.

And here is an interview with a director that works on Gundam

Director Yoshiyuki Tomino: “Not Interested in Live Action Movie Work”

Director Yoshiyuki Tomino visited South Korea to participate in the first ever “Korean Contents Fair”. A former pupil of Director Osamu Tezuka, Tomino took charge of creating “Mobile Suit Gundam”. Although different from the pre-existing works, he created the new genre of “real robot animation”. Currently working as a songwriter and novelist as well as an animation supervisor, Tomino is known for works such as “Triton of the Sea“, “Yuusha Raideen” and “Densetsu Kyojin Ideon”. At a press conference at the Dream Square Business Tower in Seoul Ageiwa, he clarified his own reasons for “Gundam” series being has loved for such a long time as well as why he is against a live-action Gundam. There was a question and answer session.

Although live action adaptations of anime has become popular lately as seen with “Transformers”, do you have any plans for adapting Mobile Suit Gundam into a live-action film?

I had an interest in live action films several years before I was producing television shows. I wanted to make something like “Transformers” However, I thought that something like a live action movie wouldn’t last in those days since it would be restricted a lot by a sign of the times and fads. I’m not interested in live action films now because of that.

DarkMidoriko — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 18:56:00 GMT

Another Gundam 00 Updatezolrowlrz this links to the last post.

The official Japanese website for Gundam 00 has updated with some character profiles:

Gundam 00 Character Page

Andrei Smirnov: Son of Sergei Smirnov, the Wild Bear of Russia. Rank is 2nd Lieutenant.

Regene Regette: The last character we saw at the end of the First Season. Wears the same clothing as Ribbons and has the same features as Tieria.

Claus Grad: One of the leaders of the anti-govermnent force “Kataron”. He has a strong will to oppose the distorted control by Arrows.

Shirin Bakhtiar: She parted ways with Marina and jumped out into the world from Azadistan. She wears a more active attire which differs from when she was in the royal palace.

Ribbons Almack: After five years having gone by, there is no change felt in his form. What does the meaning of the word Innovator have?

Sergei Smirnov: Not having participated in Arrows, he became a member of the Earth Allied Forces after the unification of the three superpowers.

Soma Pieres: Having grown over the passing months and years, she shows more characteristics of a person, more so a woman with a soft expression.

Wang Liu Ming: Wang changed from a beautiful girl into a beautiful woman. Her once inappropriate smile and eyes seem to show cleverness now.

Masked Man: A mysterious man who consciously wears a solemn mask and battle surcoat. What is his true character?

Louise Halevy: She devoted herself to the uniform of Arrows. Having lost her arm, she cut her hair short. What became of her former charming self cannot be told. (Notation: The text says arm, not hand.)

Sumeragi Li Noriega: She wears the same clothes as usual. Rather than growing and maturing, what features can be seen?

** This says chikyuu rengou gun which is Earth Alliance Forces. I’m not sure if someone updated the site got this confused with the SEED Universe since chikyuu renpou is Earth Federation.

Small Gundam 00 Updatez:

Here's a picture of the characters in season 2 (Click on the image for a larger size of it)

As you can see some of the characters have changed a lot. Some of their outfits are questionable though, ~~it looks like Tieria joined Ribbons~~. Also looks like Marina Ismail's adviser has joined a military group of some kind or has been in one all this time. Louise has also changed a lot, dunno who the guy beside her is though, she has her hands back though, its probably a mechanical 1 but w/e. I'm guessing that Louise joined a military group as well, ~~the group called Kataron~~. I'm guessing from what the 26th episode summary said. But anyways....many changes, good stuff. There will probably be a lot more info and such being released as the first airing of the second season is nearing. So keep reading =D

Another Gundam 00 updatezorz!!

–CHARACTERS–

Masked Man: A man of mystery who dons a mask just like an age of warring states general, he also arranged to wear a battle surcoat. Everything about his character is shrouded in uncertainty.

** A battle surcoat (jin’baori) was worn over armor while in camp or engaged in battle.

–EPISODE SUMMARY–

Episode.26:”The Angels Second Advent”

The Earth Sphere Federation’s independent security preservation force “Arrows,” was inhumanely supressing the opposition “Kataron,” while carrying out their duty of extermination. Meanwhile, Kataron member Claus, raced to the “Proud” colony, which was still undergoing construction, to rescue his comrades. At the colony, Saji was working as an engineer. Since his coworker was a member of Kataron, Arrows arrested him under false charges and made him do forced labor in a gravity block. Upon word of the Kataron’s rescue operation, Brigadier General Goodman and Colonel Zhejiang head to the colony on a space cruiser to execute their extermination operation. Onboard the ship is Louise, preparing for her first battle. Arrows mobile suit pilot, Captain Janine, spearheads a squad to infiltrate the colony to destroy the space ship and the mobile suits of the Kataron rescue squad. Furthermore, automaton unmanned killing machines are dropped into the colony. About that time, Setsuna had been monitoring Arrows for a long time and successfully managed to infiltrate the colony where he met Saji again by chance…

Gundam 00 Season 2 Info:

Celestial Being, defeated from their battle with the UN Forces, collapsed, however a new Gundam was developed during the 4 year span, carrying out their comeback. The 00 Gundam is one of the newly developed Gundams, and its greatest feature is the twin drive system which is equipped with two solar furnaces. The basic design was entrusted by Aeolia around the same time as the Trans Am system. Despite having the two solar reactors, this doesn’t mean that it produces twice the amount of GN particles, but rather squared.

–UPDATES–

However, since the resonance of the solar reactor is unstable and it had finally become operational after using the Gundam Exia and 0 Gundam’s solar reactor with the highest resonance rate. Celestial Being’s Mechanic Team, centered around Ian Vashti, are continuing to aim at a flawless operation of the 00 Gundam from all sides. When it reaches that level, the 00 Gundam will exemplify abilities that breaks all common sense.

Front Page News (6/29/08 - 8/31/08)

Rush Retrospective — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 00:14:00 GMT

//Updated - June 29, 2008

Front page update for information on changes occurring in the {MC} community/site and world in general.

What's happening in the MC community? Well for starters, Age of Conan was released a little over a month ago. It's an MMORPG based during the time of King Conan as written by Robert E. Howard back in the 1930s. The game is getting great reviews and is loved by most of the people I hear talking about it. There is some bad press as well due to some of the major bugs that affect some people. Some of which we have some fixes posted for, such as the OOM (Out of Memory Error)

Long Live The Foundation!

The Foundation is still growing. We are over 100 strong now! We are still recruiting quality, mature and dedicated team players. We have built our Tier 1 City, and intend on getting it to Tier 2 and 3 as soon as possible. If you are interested seek us out on the Bloodspire PVP Server or post in our Guild Forums. The AoC section of our Forums will grow as needed with new sections for Guild and AoC related information. We look forward to seeing you all in Hyboria!

The Guild forums section will be undergoing a restructuring in the coming weeks to allow for a more structured environment.

In other news, there are a few AoC holdouts, those that either don't want to pay per month or their computer can't handle AoC.

Ventrilo: It's where we live... If you really want to know what's going on with us, come visit us.

The site will be undergoing a Hyborian facelift when my schedule permits. I am open to suggestions and any graphical assistance is welcome. This theme will still be available to those who prefer it.

LLTF!

DarkMidoriko — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 00:06:00 GMT

Sadly to say, one of my main gundam sources has just announced that it is shutting down. Many of my Gundam 00 updates have been from that site. (Aeug) So even though they are going down, i will still produce many updates on Gundam 00 as i find them.

In other news, another Gundam 00 Teaser was released as previously stated in a Code Geass Episode. So here it is.....

As you can see...the appearance of some of the characters have changed slightly while others remain basically the same. A couple new characters, new battles, new mobile suits, new gundams, and an enhanced plot.

First Episode of Season Two will be shown October 5th, 2008 at 5 PM, so every Sunday at 5. This is all Japan time so in North American timezones it would be Saturday night sometime.

Gundam 00 Season 2:

The latest commercial for Gundam 00 airing during today's broadcast of Code Geass uses Chiaki Ishikawa's "Prototype" as BGM, which would seem to confirm it as the new ending song for the second season. Code Goose Season 2 Ep 20 should have the commercial depending on what fansub did it, or some raw group might have it somewhere like how i found the other commercial. But anyways...thats about that

Gundam 00 Updatezorz:

Here are the details on the new Gundam 00 Mobile Suits and Ships.

Ptolemaios 2
"Celestial Being's new mothership. Though the previous Ptolemaios was basically unarmed, the Ptolemaios 2 seems to be equipped with weapons everywhere."

GNX-704T Ahead
"Arrows' latest main model mobile suit. It's form and armament are derived from the GN-X, a characteristic that can be seen in the drive on its back."

GNX-609T GN-XIII
"A unit deployed as the main MS of the Earth Federation army that includes improvements to the model brought about 4 years prior by the guardians."
Armament: GN Lance (a lance with a built-in rifle used for shooting and assault)

Unfortunately there are no pics. But you have seen the GNX-609T GN-XIII in the last episode of the first season of Gundam 00, squadron with all the lances.
